By following these simple guidelines, you can stay in compliance while promoting your event. 1. Advertising Inside Your Library and to Registered Borrowers: Within the library building, you are free to advertise the movie title, studio name and movie artwork. Artwork cannot be altered and must contain the studio’s copyright, for example: ©Walt Disney Pictures. You are also free to advertise the movie title, studio name and movie artwork on the library’s website as well as in correspondence such as standard mailings, emails and monthly newsletters to registered borrowers/card holders of the library. The library website is considered a virtual branch of the library, allowing for such advertising. Movie Licensing USA makes it easy to create publicity with customizable posters, bookmarks and movie tickets that are already properly copyrighted. This feature can be found on our website Bros. Entertainment Inc. © Warner at library.movlic.com/publicity. Your customer number is located on your license certificate.

Available at: https://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/cine/vol10/iss1/3 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by ScholarWorks@GVSU. It has been accepted for inclusion in Cinesthesia by an authorized editor of ScholarWorks@GVSU. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Macciomei: Co-optation of the American Dream Independent cinema has been an aspect of the American film industry since the inception of the art form itself. The aspects and perceptions of independent film have altered drastically over the years, but in general it can be used to describe American films produced and distributed outside of the Hollywood major studio system. But as American film history has revealed time and time again, independent studios always struggle to maintain their freedom from the Hollywood industrial complex. American independent cinema has been heavily integrated with major Hollywood studios who have attempted to tap into the niche markets present in filmgoers searching for theatrical experiences outside of the mainstream. From this, we can say that the American independent film industry has a long history of co-optation, acquisition, and the stifling of competition from the major film studios present in Hollywood, all of whom pose a threat to the autonomy that is sought after in these markets by filmmakers and film audiences.

  • Female Investors Make a Bid for the Weinstein Company
    Case Study Female Investors Make a Bid for The Weinstein Company Thought Leadership and Advocacy PR The Challenge: After disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein was ousted from his company, Maria Contreras- Sweet, a former cabinet official and head of the Small Business Administration under President Barack Obama, assembled a majority-female team of Hollywood heavyweights to make a bid for The Weinstein Company and rebrand it as a place that was welcoming to, and supportive of, women. TASC was brought on to generate excitement around the deal and cultivate support for it. Our Strategy: TASC capitalized on the momentum of the Time’s Up and #MeToo movements, and made Contreras- Sweet and her team a symbol of hope and progress in the film industry’s treatment of women. TASC managed a huge volume of media requests for Contreras-Sweet and strategically released information on the deal to garner community interest and support from key decision makers. Several other groups were also in the running to secure a deal, and many details of negotiations could not be made public. TASC worked to ensure that outlets were accurately reporting on the details of Contreras-Sweet’s deal, the only one to save jobs, create a female-majority board of directors and create a $90 million compensation fund for Weinstein’s victims. Results: Our work generated hundreds of media placements in national outlets including Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, The New York Times, ABC News, CNBC, Yahoo! Finance, CNN Money, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, Refinery29 and dozens more, which turned the tide in Contreras-Sweet’s favor with The Weinstein Company’s board of directors.

  • Project Runway Contestant to Design Exclusive Dress for Macy's
    October 6, 2009 Project Runway Contestant to Design Exclusive Dress for Macy's INC Dress to Be Available in Select Macy's Stores in December NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- As cameras rolled on Lifetime's Project Runway last week, up-and-coming designer Irina Shabayeva won the challenge of a lifetime. The 27- year-old New Yorker has been granted the opportunity to design a holiday dress for Macy's INC International Concepts brand. "We are happy to partner with Macy's to present our designers with a challenge that gives them a taste of the real world aspects of the fashion industry. This week's challenge allowed Irina the opportunity to have one of her designs sold by a major retailer and Project Runway fans will now have the chance to purchase the exclusive party dress this holiday season," said Lance Still, Executive Vice President of Promotions and Integrated Marketing for The Weinstein Company. Part of Macy's participation in Project Runway Season 6 was to create a challenge that would be judged by Martine Reardon, Executive Vice President Macy's Inc. "It is tremendous to see what these young and talented designers can do in a very short time and with such imagination. Irina's fresh take on fashion is the ideal fit for our INC brand," said Reardon. "Our customer will love her ultra-feminine aesthetic." Given all the resources of a top designer, Irina's holiday dress is a contemporary take on the little black dress. Made of rayon matte jersey, the butterfly-embellished dress will be available in sizes small through x-large, retailing for $139.00.

  • Miramax's Asian Experiment: Creating a Model for Crossover Hits Lisa Dombrowski , Wesleyan University, US
    Miramax's Asian Experiment: Creating a Model for Crossover Hits Lisa Dombrowski , Wesleyan University, US Prior to 1996, no commercial Chinese-language film had scored a breakout hit in the United States since the end of the 1970s kung fu craze. In the intervening period, the dominant distribution model for Asian films in America involved showcasing subtitled, auteur-driven art cinema in a handful of theaters in New York and Los Angeles, then building to ever more screens in a platform fashion, targeting college towns and urban theaters near affluent, older audiences. With the American fan base for Hong Kong action films steadily growing through video and specialized exhibition during the 1980s, Miramax chieftain Harvey Weinstein recognized the opportunity to market more commercial Chinese-language films to a wider audience outside the art cinema model as a means of generating crossover hits. Beginning in 1995, Weinstein positioned Miramax to become the primary distributor of Hong Kong action films in the United States. Miramax's acquisition and distribution strategy for Hong Kong action films was grounded in a specific set of assumptions regarding how to appeal to mass-market American tastes. The company targeted action-oriented films featuring recognizable genre conventions and brand- name stars, considering such titles both favorites of hardcore Hong Kong film fans and accessible enough to attract new viewers. Rather than booking its Hong Kong theatrical acquisitions into art cinemas, Miramax favored wide releases to multiplexes accompanied by marketing campaigns designed to highlight the action and hide the "foreignness" of the films. Miramax initially adopted a strategy of dubbing, re-scoring, re-editing, and often re-titling its Hong Kong theatrical and video/DVD releases in order to make them more appealing to mainstream American audiences.
